A quick definition of perfect grant:

A perfect grant is an agreement that creates a right for someone other than the person who made the agreement. This can include things like leases, easements, and licenses. It can also refer to the formal transfer of real property, which is usually done through a deed. A perfect grant is one where everything required to pass complete ownership has been done by the grantor and grantee. This is different from an imperfect grant, which may require the grantor to do something before the title passes or may not convey all rights and complete title.

A more thorough explanation:

A perfect grant is an agreement that creates a right of any description other than the one held by the person who made the agreement. This can include leases, easements, charges, patents, franchises, powers, and licenses. It can also refer to the formal transfer of real property, which is done through a document called a deed. A perfect grant is one where the grantor has done everything required to pass a complete title, and the grantee has done everything required to receive and enjoy the property in fee.

  • A lease agreement that allows someone to use a property for a certain period of time is a type of perfect grant.
  • A deed that transfers ownership of a house from one person to another is also a perfect grant.
  • On the other hand, an imperfect grant is one that requires the grantor to do something before the title passes to another, or one that does not convey all rights and complete title against both private persons and government.

These examples illustrate how a perfect grant is a complete transfer of rights or ownership, while an imperfect grant may have limitations or conditions attached to it.

@Dkk: Fair enough, but if you're using political philosophy to defend Trump, it's hard to reconcile him as a candidate with very relevant classic political theory, like Locke's individual rights and limited government as illustrated in the 2nd treatise, or the constitutional framework limiting executive power (e.g., Federalist 51). Trump's disregard for constitutional checks and populist rhetoric directly is in tension with our very foundational principles.

@texaslawhopefully: Psssh I would not use gender relations as a way to defend Trump. He does not go that route and I think literally him and everyone in their cabinet has no idea what those are. I mean, just look at how many divorces Elon and Trump have had.

Was that not why you said you voted for him?

Nah, I did not vote. I have never voted in my life because I have a lot of issues with it. 4 years ago my mom filled out my ballot for me because she wanted to but I do not vote.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Out of curiosity, since you're in law school and prolly know fedsoc people, how conservative do you think you have to be to be in fedsoc? Like is a david french sort of conservative fairly common in it, or is it the maga type people mainly
i dont interact with any fedsoc people, but i dont know any maga people at cornell. but the student body overwhelmingly leans left, so i think they might not be comfortable showing that theyre conservative if that makes sense?
one time a guy kind of crashed out about masks in conlaw
but that's the most ive seen

Yeah, that does make sense. I would like to join fedsoc, but I'm also, clearly, very opposed to Trump and where the GOP has gone.
if you join fedsoc and go for clerking and eventually become a judge. you will be pinholed into maga politics as long as maga is the predominant conservative stance
Idk if @irishdinosaur is online but congrats on UCLA!!
next you will say you want to be the first black kkk grand wizard
@SaddestPortlander: tysm!!!!

yes congrats irishdinosaur! that's incredible
18:03
@IrishDinosaur: you inspire me and my completely misguided cope that I might ever get into UCLA
Super big congrats irish!!!
Also pretty much agree with Wasp. I think it’s more about getting the political/judicial position as a Fedsoc member that will likely require a stance siding with whatever the conservative majority party is at that time.

Yeah, that's fair. I guess I need to think about it more assuming I start law school in the fall. I really want to clerk and that seems like the best option.
